How do I port forward on a Mac? The tutorial at "portforward.com" didn't work for me. Anyone have any idea? (I have a Siemens Gigaset SE567 and know little about internet connection and whatnot.)



None.

Uh... It's a router thing, not a OS thing.

But setting it up is different...i think.

I don't think so.. Enter your IP into your browser and access your router.

2 - Type 192.168.1.1 into the address bar
3 - ?
4 - Profit

layin' in the cut

You needa do two things.

The process depends on if you are on 10.4 or lower, or 10.5.

On 10.4, go to System Preferences->Sharing->Firewall and then add a new item, choose "other" and select a description for the entry. Enter the port range to be forwarded in the open fields.

Then go to 192.168.1.1 in the WEB BROWSER OF YOUR CHOICE (if anything, the password is probably "admin" if you haven't changed it) and forward the same ports. This will open it in both the OS X and router firewalls, and you should be set.

On 10.5, step 2 is the same, but for step 1 instead of Sharing->Firewall, go to Security->Firewall and add the port(s) there.



this too shall pass

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
